Why is the king of lens testing in Europe "forced" to show differences where
no differences are?
I would guess that a serious tester tests and publishes the results he
finds, nothing more, nothing less.
Also, given the constant changes in the BAS lens testing methods over the
years, are the results of his tests comparable over time?
How did you rate his comparison between Cantax G and Leica M glass?
